After a fun filled night of whiskey, vodka and beer, it is time to deal with the aftermath. You reap what you sow and hence hangover is a certainty. You can take steps to cure your hangover in many ways, here are ten of them.

Water

You will find your throat dry and your body dehydrated and so the first and the best way to kick off a morning with a hangover is by drinking water. You should drink water during and after consuming alcohol so as to begin the rehydration process and to flush the alcohol out of your system.

Chocolate

You might not have heard of this one, but here is the truth! Chocolate can help to cure your hangover and relieve you of symptoms of low blood sugar which you experience when drinking. Also, chocolate stimulates pleasure centers of the brain and adds to the release of chemicals dopamine and serotonin which means you can improve your emotional state when fighting a hangover.

Food

It gets a little difficult to eat food when suffering from a terrible hangover but eating food is very important. Food settles in your stomach and gives you energy and also absorbs the alcohol in your system. Eat foods that have starch and fructose in them as they help to burn alcohol faster.

Exercises

Getting out of bed can be painstaking, but you should get up and go to exercise. If you have been drinking heavily then you could be metabolically behind on nutrition. Therefore after you exercise you should eat well and you must drink water at regular intervals. Make sure that you also take adequate rest after exercising.

Honey and Lemon

Make a juice out of honey, lemon and hot water and drink it. This hot beverage will replenish the fluids and sugars that you would lose to hangover and it is very important to use honey, so do not skip this bit! Drink this not once but several times in a day.

Go Back to Sleep
